Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
